Let me tell ya bout ‘Stinging Nettle’! 😖
We have this nasty stuff growing rampant! Named appropriately for its ability to make you feel like you’re being feasted on by fire ants, the sting doesn’t easily let go.
Well! This lil pest that we’ve been fighting & mowing down for years has some fantastic medicinal qualities.
It treats; allergies, arthritis, eczema, burns, sprains, anemia, and much more.
It can be made into a tincture, tea, infusion, or can be eaten 😳 (after you blanch to get rid of the ‘sting’)
I harvested about 2+ gallons today and after cutting and mashing the leaves, I was only able to fill a quart jar. Now the infusion process begins! 🤓👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 can’t wait to try this lovely undervalued gift. 🌱
*warning- the sting goes through heavy duty textured latex gloves* 😬 😣
